SEDS USA, SpaceVision - Colossus Awardees

SEDS has recently been awarded Best Technical Project of 2017 for their outstanding work on Colossus. Colossus is a NASA funded, 100% student built rocket engine test stand that is set to enable the next wave of innovation in propulsion technology in the academic community. It took 10,000 man hours and $300,000 to build it to-date. Among the leaders of the project are Gordon Scholars Dennis Ren and Briana Puketianie, who are leading the way in rocket engine testing.​ Colossus is going to become available for public testing in February 2018.
